Well, DE have a post up about action they are taking over the Semlar/Riven stuff. https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1066990-riven-trading-toolbuilders-coming-changes/ I still kind of feel that anyone willing to spend tons of plat in a non-competitive game to kill things in .1 seconds instead of .4 seconds needs help and actually capping plat per trade wouldn't be the worst thing. Although then people would just have to make multiple trades for the plat and people would run off with rivens or plat. And the kind of people who do want to min max the game so hard are probably good revenue for DE. I also feel that I wish DE had never gotten so shy about updating dispos. If they'd been in steady flux it'd be a risky market and the max value of a riven would probably be a lot lower as if it's the new meta it'll tank in power in a month or so. As it is, it seems if you've the capital buying rivens is like investing in property. Then of course the old "Just have a trading board or auction house dammit." argument. DE have stated they want more player interaction than those provide but I'm not sure if you get that. But being in GOON is not a normal player experience. And again people playing trade chat, or even .market for fun help keep the game flowing. Really wish I could just send people things in the space-mail though.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Does Adaptation gently caress with the amount of energy you get back from Rage? I'm playing about with a Nidus build and levelling it up in onslaught, but I don't really feel like the amount of energy I get back is particularly huge, and i'm wondering if it's because rage works out its energy refund after the Adaptation DR has been applied (so 90% DR means only 10% of the 40% damage-as-energy) Nidus absolutely doesn't need Adaptation to become unkillable, and now that Umbral Forma are a thing you don't even need to make any meaningful sacrifices to make him unkillable and still have Rage / Hunter Adrenaline at full effectiveness.

capping plat per trade is a terrible idea. "sure, i'm really looking forward to having to find a trustworthy person to act as an escrow or just trust that the other person will fork over the other half of the payment once they get their item, that sounds like an absolutely brilliant time" riven dispos should be set to 1.0 across the board forever, followed by buffs to bad weapons and (if absolutely unavoidable) nerfs to too-good ones. making actual weapon balance the privilege of whales and lottery winners only is one of the dumbest things DE ever did

Do all that to riven mods EXCEPT Volnus, because I have an insanely good stat stick for Gara now (180% melee damage, 160? % puncture damage).

I wish they would do more full weapon balance passes, though. Even when they do, they change way too little to matter for certain weapons. If we get a full pass only every few years, some weapons will never catch up. For now, I'll take a nice dispo bump for my favorites.

Yeah, as I said in that paragraph it wouldn't work because people would just try to trade anyway and people would run off with stuff. Admittedly the cap I'd imagine was 1k plat. Which you'd think would cover most only slightly crazy things.

I sold a Battacor riven for 3500p, which was a very positive experience. It's both hilarious in itself and it bankrolled my boosters and other "I want to play as lazily as possible and barely worry about grinding anything" luxuries for months.

Honestly I'd sooner have them actually make status on multi-pellet weapons not an unintuitive shitshow, so that status shotguns aren't relegated to "if this can't hit 100% before MS it's completely worthless".

Tulip posted:In a game where nearly every decision has been a mix of "good" and "hilarious," rivens stand out as both "bad" and "depressing" I love the idea of rivens, especially when they're used as intended (bumping up underpowered/underrated weapons), while also allowing for pretty cool builds that would be otherwise impossible (my 2 bullet knell with super fast reload says hi). They made me give a chance to extremely underused weapons that are now my favorites. Sometimes you get a pretty amazing roll for a weapon you don't even know and suddenly it's awesome. When you stay away from the tryhard market (perfect rolls for meta weapons), most rivens go for around 30p and you can even get perfect rolls for non meta weapons for that much because people don't understand how they should be built.

I like the idea of rivens saving C Tier weapons and love the challenges making me figure out cheesy strats using all my tools (my last one was "headshot kills from 100m+" on a shotgun riven) but the market for it seems like an insane whale/sharktank filled with blood and the smell of infinite boredom/greed of sitting on 5 digit plat hoards.

ughhhh posted:I've been sitting on rivens for battacor, vectis and tiberon knowing that they are worth alot, but not knowing how much I should sell them for. Per Folrun's riven bot, those are about 210-240p, 240-270p, and 260-290p unrolled, respectively -- but all of them are such that rolling into good stats can signficantly increase their value. I've sold a couple of Tiberon rivens for ~500p with pretty-good rolls, and I probably could have got more for them if I were more patient (either by rolling them to even better stats, or waiting for a better buyer.)

Yeah, it's super easy to stay away from it. I usually get the cheapest riven for a weapon I want, sometimes going the extra 10-20 plat for a roll I already like but usually no more than that. Also sometimes you're going for stuff like magazine size+reload speed for a special Javlok throw build and they'll go for super cheap. I really like to get utility rivens that are sidegrades/allow weird builds and not just extra DPS most of the time. Some people get the idea that rivens suck because other people get perfect ones for meta weapons and they don't and the market is poo poo, but I think the bright side of it is way worth it. ps: on sniping challenges with shotgun rivens you can use pistol snipers like the knell or arca scisco

DE should make items that let people freeze individual stats on a riven for maybe like many thousands of Kuva. That should help keep riven prices from getting out of control for the perfect rolls while preserving a price floor. I don’t get enough rivens to really invest anything mentally to it but Diablo 3 got the gambling of stats about right IMO.

It's fine for there to be literally one-in-a-million uniquely rare mods, especially when realistically speaking they're for squeezing out the last drop of optimization and don't really have an impact proportionate to their cost and rarity. It's just rivens as a balance mechanism that's bad.

With how insane the power curve is already, I'm happy that rivens remain a tremendous kuva/plat sink for those who want to chase the dmg/multi/-zoom dragon. I look at them no more than a scratch-off lottery ticket. If a cool one pops out, Il invest a few rolls, if not, into the garbage/give away bin.
